The paving blocks treated with MasterPel SP 4001 will have MasterPel SP 4001 offers the following advantages:
a glossy aspect, increasing with dosage. ▪ Hydro-repellency
MasterPel SP 4001 is characterized by a low viscosity and ▪ Protection against the formation of efflorescence
can be easily sprayed on the surface. ▪ Increased and longer-lasting color brilliancy.
MasterPel SP 4001 can be applied by spraying or rolling on ▪ Glossy aspect, increasing with dosage.
the surface of pavers, immediately after compaction and
stripping; alternatively, the treatment after curing in the
chamber is also possible. If applied in the production line
after demolding, MasterPel SP 4001 does not require any
drying treatment: the elements can be transferred directly
to the curing chamber, according to the standard production
cycle. By combining the surface application of MasterPel
SP 4001 to the use of the admixtures MasterPel 793/708 in
the mass of concrete, it is possible to attain a TOTAL PRO-
TECTION of the concrete elements: not only the surface is
protected, but the whole body of concrete, thereby provid-
ing superior aesthetics and minimization of efflorescence.
